Replying To Dmoa95: "That was taken from the post-Corofin dominance period. Regardless, your point is valid at senior level: Mayo champions have vastly underperformed outside the province over the past 10 years.
I do think Castlebar will be one of the stronger sides this year, though. I'm also not convinced Salthill-Knocknacarra will be as strong as some of the previous Galway representatives. That's just my opinion.
Brigid's are clearly the team to beat, and I don't think there'll be a huge amount between Castlebar and Salthill. However, that could end up being largely irrelevant, as I think Brigid's are a good bit ahead of both." Mayo club champions have been extremely poor in Connacht at senior and intermediate level recently.
No senior win since castlebar in 2015 and only one intermediate winner since Westport in 2016. Our junior champions usually perform well in fairness.
Also only 2 connacht championship wins at intercounty level over the last 11 years. Galway have 6 and Roscommon 3 over the same period. It's a good job winning Sam makes us forget about that!

Pretty even spread amongst the top 3. You would expect Mayo to be out performing Roscommon given its size.

2 seriously strong clubs (at different times) make up the bulk of Roscommon titles. Corofin on 10 only club with more than either of them.
No Mayo club has more than 3 titles.
